Equipment: Galaxy S2 (Rooted with odin CF-Root)
Problem: Evey time I reboot my phone all the data will be back to 10/11/11 (rooted and backed up date) , new installed app and data gone also.
Symptoms: Similar to the Deep Freeze on the computer. If you reboot the phone all the data and app will restore to the date of 10/11/11. I not sure either Titanium Backup Pro 3.9 or CWM caused this problems. Actually I backed up with 3 app TB, CWM and nitrality.
I tried:
1. Factory Reset.
2. Go into Recovery Mode wipe data / cache.
3. Remove Titanium Backup then TwLauncher and Market force closed all the time. Tried with root explorer also.
4. Press *2767*3855# not work.
5. Tried to flash Official rom and other custom rom but won't work
6. Fomat phone memory (USB) and sd card > after reboot all the data still back

Now, what should I do next?
How to remove Titanium Backup permanently ?
Thank you in advance.
Still need help, please.

I can remember another thread with the same issue.
There the user came to the conclusion that it was a hardware defect of the internal sd card.
He sent his phone back to the seller and as the seller could not fix the problem, he received a new phone.
Maybe you have got the same issue.
All writing operations to your internal sd card seem to work fine, but they are only written into a kind of cache/RAM and not permanently to the filesystem of your internal sd card.
If I could find this other thread again, I will add a link.
Ah I see. So if the internal sd it broke out, because it still rewrite the old data again and again. When I try to flash the new one or factory reset it should be better. Do you have any solutions or just send it back to the seller.
Thanks a lot.

Here is the other thread and the issue sounds very similar => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178964
If you have still warranty, send it back to the seller (after contacting).
Maybe the seller has got a special way of handling such a warranty replacement.
Good luck !

A couple of weeks ago, my SGS II crashed really badly and affected my phone in that I kept getting force close messages as well as "System UIDs Inconsistent" ones plus I couldn't access the partitions within my phone in Windows Explorer even though the phone was recognised by it.
It looks as though I may need to do a factory reset which to me is going to be a pain in the ass especially where videos and MP3's are concerned.
Another problem is that even though I installed VillainROM and followed the rules to the letter concerning its installation, supposedly I didn't install the system recovery that was unique to it and which would have made things a lot easier for me.
I don't even know if there is a way to backup data from the partitions to a 16GB or bigger micro SD card within the regular system recovery or not.
If I do need to a factory reset, are there any Apps out there that will let me recover data from the internal partitions as long as I don't write over the lost data concerned? (I know there's software available for PC that does something similar with data stored on hard drives)
Well on Cutom ROM you can use Titanium Backup Pro for Backup and Restoring. On Stock ROM's even Kies would do.

That's the irony, I actually had Titanium Backup installed on my VillainROM custom ROM and I'd even bought an upgrade to the Pro version but for some reason, it wouldn't let me upgrade to the full version even though I had a license for it that I paid for, and as a result, it wouldn't let me do a full backup without having to do it slowly.
If I did reinstall Titanium Backup and managed to get my problem sorted out, would it recover deleted data or not?
Titanium Backup would only restore what it previously backed up.
The most easy way would be to just dump your data partition into a tarball (given you have root access on your phone).
Just hop into a terminal or adb shell and do
Code:
su
busybox tar zcvf /sdcard/data.tar.gz /data
That will give you a full .tar "backup" of all the data on the internal data partition.
Restoring that to app after a wipe and reinstall can be a bit pain in the poo, but it's better than nothing - and a recovery of previous files after a wipe would at best give you the same.

How do I go into a terminal or adb shell? I'm using Windows 7 if that's any help?
For Terminal install a Terminal App from the marketplace on your phone and run it directely on it.
ADB you get from the Android SDK.

I take it that once I do the factory reset on the phone and install a Terminal App on it via Android Market, I just need to run the command that you recommend that I do and I should be able to recover the data that was on my partitions, pre factory restore?
(Apologies for asking all these questions as I'm still a newbie when it comes to Android and I'm just pissed that this happened in the first place because of the overheating that caused it to happen in the first place)
What if I select advance restore in CWM recovery and restore data? Will it affect the flashed rom?

No, you run the command BEFORE the factory wipe and use the tarball you got to restore any data you still need.

Should work too, but depending on *what* borked up the install (might be some setting/config/piece-of-data somewhere) it will be restored as well - but definitaly worth a shot and pretty much "a must" to do those backups (I do them regulary).

No program is free without compromise. If you factory reset without backup, there is not much you can do to recover deleted files. That's why such warnings exist before reverting back to a clean state.
You can try a Recuva download the program connect as storage device and try to scan Hope it helps

Recovery programs such as recuva work best on magnetic media such as pc hard drives. Flash storage on mobile phone are different as there are no moving parts, so recovery is not that easy. There is also a much higher likelihood of corruption on flash storage too when restoring deleted files, so that's why there is really no 'best' method for recovery.
How to Recover Deleted Data from Android after Factory Reset
When you perform a factory reset on Android, you will return the device to the condition it was when shipped from the factory. A factory data reset can help fix most issues that occur on Android. Any incorrect settings, glitches, bugs, viruses, or software problems on the device will be wiped clean.
But the files deleted from an Android phone aren’t actually wiped from its memory. Instead, the files are only marked as deleted and invisible. The system will write data over those files in the future. You can later use specialized data recovery tool to scan the Android memory for deleted files and try to recover them.

Backup anything important, factory reset, clear cache & dalvik in CWM recovery. Followed immediately by flashing ROM.
If you're stock and not rooted, factory reset after backup.

Fix permissions in recovery or,
1. Backup all data including contacts, pictures etc as will erase everything.
2. Dialer *2767*3855# to master reset
3. Flash again

As stated by JJE, maybe the SD card is corrupted, back up files on your pc then reformat the card using pc and then replace the files?

I think your system cant find sd card. It is maybe hardware problem.
Or recovery file is wrong.
Do you have only 1 recovery file? If not, try other file.

Everytime my phone is rebooted or crashes after days of use without reboot, some apps for sure will be removed randomly. Specially new ones. Apps which hav been there for long stays.
IM+ lite is a must to be removed everytime.
Recently zedge which has been there for long time just got removed.
Android seems like a mess, apps which get removed, their data stays, n I manually uninstall all of them, n then do a corps cleanup with sd maid. Bt after a reboot, all of the data comes back n I have to uninstall them again.
Its being a very big problem. I cant restart my phone without loosing some apps n data. Please help. I hope ICS has a better app structure, n im willing to do a fresh start there... But I must be able to transfer my "EasyMoney" data to the new rom. It has all my money tranctions.
Plz help, thanks alot...

More like your phone not Android as this is not a normal problem .

But I just removed SPB and installed Launcher Pro, and similar probles still exist. Spb nor launcher pro starts properly, have to keep force closing after startup. So am using TouchWiz (hate it)... The problem feels like its related to my SD Card... Maybe I installed too many apps to SD. Currently have about 310 apps all together... So ill just backup my easymoney app data n few sms, pics, musiz etc n just do a factory reset n install SPB...lets see what happens...

There are multiple problems you made above. First off is purchasing a clone device..there isn't any support for those phones on here so its hard to get an answer to anything. Besides that you didn't backup or do anything to ensure that you can have a way to restore if you screw something up. You deleted system files which has nothing to do with Factory Resetting. In order to revive your phone you must reinstall the system partition of the phone with either a stock ROM or custom ROM.. but since your phone is a clone you probably wont find any on here. Look around online and you will be lucky to find one. Other than that you have a cheap paperweight
Ask the seller
Talk to whoever you bought it from online, or if you didn't buy it online, search for one the same being sold from china.
I think the fake samsungs all started with MTK the 4 numbers depending on what crappy model you got.
Talk to someone that sells the fake ones and ask for a factory rom, you should be able to install it from standard recovery
mode as long as its signed.
Good luck, you'll need it by the sounds of things
Now u have only one way left that go to that place from which u got this phone.... Maybe they will reinstall the stock rom your device.... Or Ask in other shop nearby Can they reinstall the stock of this device

Hey, this is the first time I'm posting a problem here. I have a Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro (I8552). I rooted my phone yesterday via cwm recovery, and then made a backup using ROM Manager. It rebooted my phone directly into a backup page where it started backing it up, but my internal memory wasn't big enough so it failed and since then I haven't been able to boot my phone up... When I try to turn it on it goes straight into CWM Recovery page, and when I click "reboot system now" it turns off the screen and then reboots it again into CWM Recovery...
Then, since I couldn't access the apps (as the phone won't start), I made another backup through CWM Recovery, but this time in my external SD Card which had about 6 gb free space. So it made and completed the backup without any problems. But when I restore it from my ext SD Card it restores the system and stuff but then when it comes to data it shows the message
Error while restoring /data!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
. Every time.
And so I tried
wipe data/factory reset
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it does it, and completes the process, but still it won't boot up, neither by
reboot system now
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
nor by removing battery and trying to restart.
Mind you, I didn't flash any new ROMs, it was still running my stock ROM when this happened...
So to sum up the things I've tried
1. Reboot system now
2. Backup in extSD Card (which worked) and restore from the same (which didn't work)
3. Wipe data/factory reset
Also one more thing, before any of this mess was made, right after I rooted my phone, I made a backup of all apps through the app called
Titanium Backup root
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
.
Is there any way I can get out of this mess? And maybe make my phone accessible again.
And if somehow by sheer stroke of luck and your expertise, if I do get out of this mess, is there any way to root my phone again and recover the apps or appdata from the already made CWM backup? or the Titanium Backup I made (or is it gonna be gone because of the factory reset?).
Thank you in advance for any help or try you might

Yeah, but then will I be able to restore from the same backup (cwm) that's causing problems now, or will it not work even then?
And what about the backup I made with the Titanium Backup app, will I be able to retrieve app data from there?
Because the very reason I was backing it all up was to protect the app data, and it's pretty important. So is it possible to save it after stock flashing?
The stock recovery flasher will help u get out of that loop. Check the link posted above.
